    This program is designed to empower our young learners with the gift of bilingualism. We are preparing them for success as 21st century leaders in an increasingly interconnected world.

    Why Should You Choose our Dual Lingual Program? 

    • Becoming Bilingual is Embracing Diversity, Cultivating Empathy, and Inclusion: Becoming bilingual has become a vital skill. Our program fosters an environment where your child will become fluent in two languages. This program will enhance their cultural awareness. We promote empathy, acceptance, and inclusion for all within our school community. 
    • Cognitive Advantages: Yes, research has shown that young children exposed to multiple languages demonstrate enhanced cognitive ability. Our program promotes creativity, critical thinking skills, and problem solving. 
    • Increase Communication Skills: It is noted that bilingual children develop superior communication skills. We are placing our children on a pathway to articulate their ideas with confidence and to positively impact others in the world. 
    • Pathway to Global Opportunities: Individuals who possess fluency in multiple languages increase their opportunities within their education, career, and personal growth.  In this world we need to give our children the ability to compete and dual language is a dynamic strategy that can truly empower our children. 
    • Preparation for the Future: The 21st century demands adaptable, forward thinking individuals. By joining our dual language program your child will be at the forefront,  as we equip them with the skills to tackle future challenges and and create positive solutions. 

    The Future is Bilingual. 

    Here at PS 102 Manhattan, we believe that learning additional languages, especially for our young students, is the key to a brighter future.

Dear P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier Educational Partners,

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to you as the new Principal of P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier Elementary School. I am excited to join this exemplary school community of dedicated, talented members committed to doing what is in the best interest of our scholars. As a community, we will continue to put scholars first and work diligently to ensure their success. I look forward to meeting with you to learn how we can best support our community together. I come to you with 17 years of hands-on educational experience with the Department of Education. Starting as a Teaching Fellow in Middle School, where I spent 13 years teaching math, Dean of Students, New Teacher Mentor, Mathematics Instructional Coach, and School Administrator. As an administrator and educator, I pride myself on supporting all community members both inside and outside the classroom. I am thrilled to utilize my skills as an educational leader at P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier Elementary School and work with you as a partner in education to ensure your success and our scholar’s success. On a personal note, I am a parent of three amazing children, one graduate from Millennium Brooklyn High School, and two currently attending  NYC Public Schools in Brooklyn, where I live with my husband. We are proud to be part of the NYC DOE School District, one that values high standards by providing rich learning experiences for all students, prioritizes community wellness, and engages families to be our true partners. I am excited about what we will accomplish together for our community and look forward to celebrating our collective success this school year. I look forward to meeting all of you.

Field Day 2023

Field Day 2023

On June 7th, 2023 PS 102 Manhattan celebrated Field Day. We were able to have fun indoors  as we followed New York City's Protocol to promote proper air quality. 

We played games and competed in competitions. We competed in teams that reflected our school's colors blue and gold.  It was so great to see all children engaged and experiencing joy.
